Welcome to Joseph LeBlanc's Joomla development forum. This forum is primairly intended to discuss the development of components I've authored, such as the podcasting suite and Daily Message tutorial.

Is Download link location a security risk? 1 Year, 2 Months ago Karma: 0  
I want to add a "download this audio file" link to my podcast article. I was wondering if there is any security risk to link to /components/com_podcast/media/filename.mp3, or if I should move the default location for the files to somewhere else?

Thanks!

There's no security vulnerability that I know of if you link it there. However, if you don't want potential hackers to know that you're using Podcast Suite, you can use a different location by specifying one under the Parameters button in the backend.
